In this episode of Tj Hunt's automotive escapades, the spotlight shines brightly on the revered rb26 engine, a powerhouse that demands attention. But before delving into the intricacies of this mechanical marvel, a storm of criticism regarding the Mustang's paint job must be weathered. Tj Hunt, a staunch defender of SOS Customs, clarifies that the paint job is a work in progress, with final touches and clear coats pending. The Mustang's prolonged stay at SOS was not for a mere paint job but to rectify underlying structural issues, including panel replacements and a complete floor pan overhaul.
With the stage set, the team dives into the rb26 project, meticulously cleaning the car's underside and tackling fuel line installations with precision. As the engine nears completion, a hiccup arises with the throttle position sensor (TPS) pin out, prompting a race against time to rectify the issue before the first start. Amidst the mechanical symphony, a brief interlude sees Tj Hunt highlighting the importance of mental health, seamlessly weaving personal anecdotes with a message from BetterHelp, a beacon of support in life's tumultuous journey.
The narrative takes a dramatic turn as the team encounters a puzzling fuel pump dilemma, swiftly diagnosing and remedying loose connections and sensor malfunctions. The quest for optimal performance leads to a deep dive into the flex fuel sensor conundrum, culminating in a triumphant sensor replacement and a newfound harmony in ethanol readings. With the rb26 roaring to life, the road to SEMA beckons, promising a thrilling showcase of automotive craftsmanship and unwavering determination.
